CUTTING OPERATIONS Fig . W There are two basic types of cuts : ripping and crosscutting . Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece . Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece . Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand . Ripping requires the use of the rip fence , and crosscutting requires the miter gauge . LA WARNINGJ Before using the saw each and every time , check the following : 1 . Blade is tight on the arbor . 2 . Bevel angle lock knob is tight . 3 . If ripping , fence knob is tight and fence is parallel to the miter gauge grooves . 4 . Blade guard is in place and working properly . 5 . Safety glasses are being worn . NOTE : Always use a push stick . When width or rip narrower than 2 " the push stick cannot be used The failure to adhere to these common safety rules , because the guard will interfere . . .

Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an Fig . AA auxiliary facing ( 1 ) to make it easier to cut very long or 3 2 short pieces . Select a suitable piece of smooth wood , 1 drill two holes through it and attach it the miter gauge face with screws . Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard . When cutting long workpieces , you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse .

Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece . 3 . Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover . 4 . A worn , cut , or damaged power cord should be replaced immediately . WARNIING / All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted only by a trained repair technician . Contact the nearest Sears Service Center for service . Use only identical replacement parts . Any other parts may create a hazard . 5 . Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all Place a small amount of dry lubricant on bevel gear ( 2 ) . plastic parts . Screw rod ( 1 ) must be kept clean and free of sawdust , gum , pitch , and other contaminants for smooth operation . NOTE : Certain cleaning chemicals can damage plastic parts . If excessive looseness is observed in any parts of the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism , take the complete 6 . Avoid use of the following cleaning chemicals or unit to a Sears Service Center . solvents , ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia . LUBRICATION All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM ( FIG . EE ) and require no additional lubrication .
